If true then that is good to hear.

I'd say 11-15... there'd probably be a lot more PCRs to cut down any possible upstarts
But I can say this- instead of 25 people with over 6000 posts, there'd probably be closer to 55-75

I know I'd be more active at Apolyton (at least in the OT) and have more posts (total,... because I would have posted more) if OT posts had counted... I just don't feel like I'm working toward anything or any goal if OT posts don't count

Probably true. Anyone remember that Mao achieved Deity level not once but thriceBy that "logic," if one had enough PCRs, they would eventually reach a postcount even higher than that of the other dieties...
10,208 posts or so (a few months at deity)... then 10% PCR... Then 10,018 posts (1 day at deity)... then accidental account deletion... Then 38 posts under new account... then Deity again and now somewhere around 10,208-10,600 If I remember correctly

Quite correct!Originally posted by Urban Ranger
But what counts as "contribution?"
Something like "Good idea!
" will get you a +1 on any of the on topic forums, and that's not contribution at all.
Seriously though, if it serves little purpose and is of dubious value then why not discard it altogether? A true measure of someone's contribution should be by its quality, not quantity.

SEE (whoever it was), if the listmaster says it, it must be true!

Well some time warps robbed me of at least a few hundred in post count and since only a tiny fraction of my posts have ever been anywhere but the OT so I'm sure I'd be at least fairly close to Deity and bit OT posts still counted I might have done some judicious spamming to hit the limit.
But it doesn't really matter, everyone knows that what's most important is having a 1969/70 registered date, its the true mark of the hallowed vetran

That means you need the mods to look through every single post to see if they deserve a +1 in post count. It simply cannot be implemented.Originally posted by Vince278

There would be lots of Deities.
I would have made it ages ago. I think I only had about 500 OT posts that counted.
But since I already have a title, I doubt I'll add the deity tag to it after I reach it. It's not that big a deal.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Well, sure. If I was a Ferret King I might have the same attitude.

I agree and it wouldn't be worth the effort. I believe in quality but I also believe in just having fun as well. I hope we can all agree that the count and titles really don't matter as long as we are all enjoying ourselves.Originally posted by Urban Ranger
